About this work

This image shows twelve small squares arranged in a grid. Each square has a flat, yellowish shape floating in a textured gray background. The shapes slowly change—some have tiny handles or a red square in the last one. The artist made these squares look like simple, empty rooms or boxes. The gray background looks like a floor with a repeating pattern, almost like a grid of tiles. Check out Peter Halley to see how he plays with shapes and spaces in other works.
